Cape Town - Each Tuesday the twitter verse comes together to talk travel – with topics ranging from the important and useful, all the way to the wild and untamed.

This week's topic dealt with all the wonderful and weird festivals of the world.

Ooh boy, there are the good old favourites like the Rio Carnival and the Oktoberfest in Germany, but there are a few equally strange ones - such as the baby-jumping festival in Spain. You have to see the pic further down to believe it.

Question 3 via @templeberg wanted travellers to share the most bizarre things seen at a festival.

A3 Giant cans of Spam. Yes folks, Hawaii has a fun festival to honour the canned meat but don't knock it until you try it! #ttot

Every Tuesday at 11:30 (SA time), the chat is run by a few of the world's top travel bloggers, such as Travel Dudes, Roni Weiss and Runaway Juno, and aimed at getting travellers from all over the world to share their experiences.

You'd be better off joining the chat via tweetdeck or hootsuite so you can following the discussion better.

It takes the form of five different questions related to the topic and will be numbered Q1 - Q5, with a couple of minutes for responses to each. In order to respond to a specific question you will start your answer with A1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, of course including #TTOT so you're included in the stream.
